MM-SRV: Adopt Material Group from Service Master instead of default in SPRO

At my current client we are encountering a problem when creating requisitions for services. When the system was originally configured years ago, a default value for material group was entered in the IMG under:
Logistics > Materials Management > External Services Management > Source Determination and Default Values > For Client
Field is "Default material group at item level" (V_T165-MATKL)
Up to now this singular default value was fine because they only had one material group for services. They are now wanting to further stratify their services spend, so there are now several additional values for Material Group that can (and are) used among their service master records. Having a single default value for Material Group is resulting in incorrect reporting of spend per Material Group.
I removed the default value in the config node stated above, but now the problem is that when creating a requisition line for services (item category D) in ME51N, no value for Material Group comes in at all, resulting in an error because Material Group is a mandatory field. Making the field optional on the Field Selection Groups is not a valid solution, as they need Material Group for spend reporting.
What we really need is for the Material Group to be automatically copied over from the service master data, in the same manner that this takes place for the material group contained in a material master.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance,
Jason

Hi,
Hi,
1) If service master is used in the PO item, then the system will take the
material group from the service master (AC01).
2) If no service master is maintained then the system will take the
material group from the table T023. To be able to change this material group on services level - if you want a different material group on services level, you must set the field ESLL-MATKL for visible in the table control settings, and the change of the service group must be carried out manually.
Please be advised that it is the standard behaviour that the material
group on service level is not updated automatically after you have
changed the material group on purchasing level. The material group on
service level must be adjusted manually.
3) By default for service lines the system will consider the material
group which is entered at the Item level.
Services can have different material groups, therefore you can change
the material group at service level. The material group in service line
can be different and always takes higher priority from the material
group at the item level.

We need to create material group for roll shop spare parts service,we created a new material group.
when we are creating PR/PO with item category as D and a/c assignment K( entered cost center here).its giving error message
as RC= 3M8 47 Account determination for entry JSL KBS J001 not possible(while making service entry sheet)
after that i changed PR/PO and gave cost center and G/l account.now the service entry sheet is accepted.
is it necessary give G/L account manually,if user chose wrong G/L account how to avoid this problem.
please clarify me,
do we need to assign valuation class for material group for services?(where to assign)
or
should assign G/L account manually to cost center while creating PR/PO
Please clarify me

Varun

Hi,
Option-1:-- >
Without creating material group and you can use your other service material group(existing service material group) and create a service master in AC03 as spareservice. Create a Service PO with text as roll shop spare parts service with other details as required like quantity of service, cost center & G/L account etc. After service being completed you can do SES in t.code: ML81N
Option-2:-- >
If you want report at the end based on different material/service group level, you can create a material/service group in OMSF for roll shop spare parts service and then you can assign to valuation class to material group in OMQW t.code. Then carry out regular process service order, SES etc.
Based on requirement, you can enter G/L account manually or can set default G/L account in purchasing document with help of t.codes: OMSK, OMQW, OME9, OMGO & OBYC
For error u201CAccount determination for entry JSL KBS J001 not possibleu201D, you cannot assign KBS transaction/event key to an account in OBYC t.code. Only you can assign G/L account to cost center with your CompanyCode in OKB9 t.code. Check the SAP note: 364570 & 106981

GL account against Material group- For service procurement

Hi,
I have created a Service master, and assigned some material group. At entry aids settings in customization i have linked this material group with a Valuation class.
At OBYC settings I linked this valuation class for GBB VBR combination to GL accounts, with an impression that system picks GL account automatically when ever we create PO for this Service.
But this is not happening. Can any one please guide me how to achieve this?
Regards,
Sattuj

Hi Sattuj,
Follow the following steps
1. Create Service Master (maintain valuation Class and Material Group)
2.In OBYC, select WRX and enter chart of account and your GR/IR account in Debit and Credit tabs
3.Create PO: Enter cost object( according to ur requirement ex..Cost Center"K" or sales Order "C" or Project "P") and Item category "D" Service. Do not material here, just enter short text of service, material group and plant. Finally in item details enter activity number or service master you created in service master , quantity and gross price.
4.After entering above , again u will have a pop-up screen, you have to enter your G/L account here( created in as.....exm........Cost element for cost center or G/L for sales Order)
Hope the above solve ur problems.
With regards,

Material group for services

Hello to everyone,
does anybody know why it is necessary to fill up the material group field at item level when you create a purchase requisition for services with item category "D". Because when you create a purchase requisition for services, you include services items with their own services group, then I don't know why it is necessary to include the material group, too.
Kind Regards.

Dear Ignaciohsg,
Please kindly check if your customizing have set this field as optional or required.
SPRO:MM-PUR-PR-Define screen layout for PR.
The issue might be that the 'Material Group' is a required entry at item
level, as per your customizing .
Field selection key PT9F -> Basic data, item.

Where do I find list of material group for service material

Hi,
please any one tell , where do i find list of material group used for service materials?
regards,

Hi,
What is the criteria u are using to find out material groups?? If it is on the basis of material type DIEN (services) then go for T code MM60 put material type and u will get all the materials with material groups which has material type as DIEN.
Also u can directly go to SE16 and in T023 table find all the material groups.

Need to pull postal code in SO from customer master instead on postlcd/city

I want postal code to be pulled in sales order - partners tab for bill to party from customer masater/ under PO box adress.
Currently it is pulling postal code/city from customer master/ under street address.
Is there any standard con-fig available for same ?
please reply,
Thanks and regards,
Sujit

normally not but in asset reporting there seems to be a relation between structure and report-name (not tcode)
go to tcode se11 and search for structures with search term FIAA_SALVTAB* and you'll find some structures.
The last part of the name (RABEST, RABEWG ) is the link to the report (RABEST01, RABEWG01)
hope that helps

IDOC capturing the old data from Vendor master instead of modified data

Hello Friends,
Could you please guide me on the below issue ?
Vendor master was changed with the address being modified at 1300 system time. => change log shows as 1300
Payment run and IDOC generation ( RFFOEDI1 ) was executed at 1400 system time. => IDOC created time as 1400
but , Still the IDOC captured the old vendor master address data onto the IDOC .
this is very strange to me and no idea how this can happen.
thanks

Moderator message: I am sorry but I had to remove the "correct answer" as it was not correct.
It is well possible to remove the purchasing view via archiving, since archiving of vendor masters is divided into 3 activities: archiving purchasing view, archiving company code views, archiving general data.
Of course there are preconditions: you cannot archive purchasing data view if you had already created orders. In that case you have to archive the orders first.
See the network graphic, in SARA enter object FI_ACCPAYB, then click the icon for network.
In that particular case you would even create inconsistencies if you delete a table entry.
And before you delete table entries you should in general know about the relationship of tables.
Just thinking that a vendor master is LFA1, LFB1 and LFM1 is much to short. Goto DB15, enter FI_ACCPAYB (this is the archiving object) in the lower part and see how much tables are returned. These are all tables that can have data if you maintain a vendor master.
Now check all those tables if they have a relation to LFM1 and if they contain data
what will happen if you delete the vendor despite of existing orders? you probably get a dump when you access the purchase order.

Default tax code determination from Vendor master instead SPRO Configuratio

Hello Everyone,
We are on SRM 7.0 version. I was wondering if there is any BADI or something in SRM which will help me over-ride the default tax code configuration which is done in the system based on Vendor.
Please advise.
Thank you
Ritesh

Hi,
The original Tax Configuration creates entries in table BBP_DET_TAX_CODE. In order to override the values in this table you should use BAdi: BBP_DET_TAXCODE_BADI.
If you are looking to change Tax Data use BAdi: BBP_TAX_MAP_BADI.

Material replication from R/3 to SRM - Issue with Material group

Hello All,
                  I am working on BADI PRODUCT_CUSTOMER2 and method MAP_R3_TO_CRM_MATERIALMaterial replication part from R/3 to SRM.
I am using a Ztable to map r/3 material group to SRM material group(Product category).
For example Material M1 with material group 100 is transferred to SRM. Material group(Product category) 100 exist in SRM, but I am changing the material group to 200 in the product_customer2 badi. its working fine.
In another scenario, Material with material M1 with material group 300. Material group(product category) 300 does not exist in SRM,
I am changing the material group to 200 in the bdoc, in the product_customer2 badi. It is not working. The LUW is failing in SMQ2 transaction with the error "Error in Mapping (Details: transaction SMW01)". The BDOC is failing with error "Category for material group 300 does not exist"
I tried to deactivate the badi PRODUCT_CUSTOMER2, even then the FM MAP_BAPIMTCS_AND_PROCESS is validating the material group from R/3.
I tried to change the material group 300 to the existing material group 200 at initial stage in debugging in function module MAP_BAPIMTCS_AND_PROCESS but still the bdoc is failing with error "No storage form defined for product type 01 / logical system".
I am doing my testing using the following steps.
1. change the material descriptioni in MM02 in R/3.
2. An item is displayed in the queue in SMQ2 in SRM.
3. I have debugged the LUW and analyzed my badi by setting breakpoint at method MAP_R3_TO_CRM_MATERIAL, its changing the material group in the bdoc properly.
   that didnt work.
   also i tried to change the material group in the function module MAP_BAPIMTCS_AND_PROCESS before the badi is called.
4. I am checking the BDOc status using tcode SMW01 and checking the material using tcode COMMPR01.
can someone tell me how I can change the R/3 material group to SRM material group at the time of mapping in SRM?
Thanks

Hi find below for the product cat
Steps to create the product category in SRM:
1) Create MM material groups in ECC client. This will create a transport. Go to SRM Tcode R3AS and select the object u201CDNL_CUST_PROD1u201D from the list and run it. You can monitor the job using R3AM1 in SRM. This will bring the material group into SRM. This can be seen in TCode u201CCOMM_HIERARCHYu201D in SRM.
2) Once it is done. Go to IMG in SRM and go to path SRM> SRM server> Cross app biz settings> Account aassigmnet> Define GL code for Acc *** Cat and Prod Cat. Maintain the GL code against this prod cat for all the account assignment codes. This is client specific setting and need to be done in every client by opening it. This GL code is given in the form in ticket.
3) Do a test and check if the product category is available for procurement in SC.

Satish

Import of material groups into hierarchy not possible (note 432339)

Dear All,
I am trying to replicate material groups (DNL_CUST_PROD1) from R3 system. Prior to this our SRM system configured as standalone and Material Hierarchy is already defined. When I am trying to replicate the material groups in SMQ2 I am receiving status as "sysfail" and further I am getting above message. In the message the OSS note also mentioned. In the OSS note they have given following solution
Error message "Import of material groups into hierarchy &1 not possible":
In transaction COMM_PRAPPLCAT, you specify that the hierarchy specified in the error message is to be used for application 'Purchasing' (02). This means that the material groups would be created in this hierarchy. Delete this setting in Transaction COMM_PRAPPLCAT. If hierarchy R3MATCLASS already exists, assign
hierarchy R3MATCLASS to application 'Purchasing'. Then the material groups are created in hierarchy R3MATCLASS. If you want to import the material groups into the hierarchy specified in the error message, you can also keep this hierarchy
assigned to application 'Purchasing' and deactivate the error message. Error message "Import of material types into hierarchy &1 not possible". You can do this in Customizing under 'Customer Relationship Management -> Master data -> Basic settings -> Define system message characteristics'.
My problem is I am not able to find out the path given in the OSS note ( i.e, Customer Relationship Management u2013 Master data) . Any one can help me in this regard ?
with regards

System not changing the G/L account when material group is changed in Pr

Hi Experts,
Issue- System not changing the G/L account when material group is changed in Purchase requistion.
Process followed:
1. Create Service Pr with material group 5040 which is assigned to valuation class 3511 and 3511 is assigned to g/l account 51370000
2. Changed Service PR material group from 5040 to 5050. 5050 is assigned to valuation class 3512 and 3512 is assigned to G/L account 51260000
The issue is when we changed the material group from 5040 to 5050 system is not picking the g/l account which is assigned to 5050 i.e. 51260000
instead the g/l remains remains as before which is there for 5040 i.e. 51370000
Please let me know how can we resolve this problem and pick the correct g/l. Please find the attachments
Regards
Badri

Hello Badari,
if you are using the item category D "Services", explanation from note 663983 - ME22(N), ME52(N): No new G/L account from material group applies:
Please consider the following:
You can maintain the material group both at item level and at service line level. If you subsequently change the material group at item level, the material groups remain unchanged in the services. As a result, the G/L account is not redetermined at service line level.
In order for the G/L account to be redetermined, you must explicitly change the material group in the service line.
Kind Regards
